Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2013020681A1] The invention relates to a connecting apparatus (22) for connecting at least two battery cells (10), which each have a terminal (14) with at least one narrowed region (16) forming a recess, preferably in the longitudinal direction of the battery cell (10), wherein the connecting apparatus (22) has at least two terminal receptacles (24) spaced apart from one another and having at least one wall (26), wherein, in order to connect the battery cells (10), in each case one terminal (14) of the battery cells (10) to be connected can be introduced at least partially into each terminal receptacle (24), wherein the wall (26) of each terminal receptacle (24) is plastically deformable at least in regions, and wherein, after the introduction, a form-fitting connection (31) between the battery cell (10) and the terminal receptacle (24) can be produced by at least regional plastic deformation of the wall (30) in the direction of the narrowed region (16) of the terminal (14). The invention also relates to a battery cell (10) and a method for connecting at least two battery cells (10).
